Chapter 413 – 413. Mr. S
413. Mr. S
Jena and I stared at each other in silence. The atmosphere shifted in an instant. It would be foolish to miss this opportunity.
I reached out and cupped Jena’s face. She didn’t resist my touch. I moved closer, and she closed her eyes. Our lips met, and she grabbed my shoulders.
“Haa… Mwah.”
We kissed like we were devouring each other.
My tongue plunged deep into her mouth. But not too deep. That would only make her uncomfortable.
And then I used heightened sensitivity.
“Uhn…”
Jena let out a pleased moan. Our tongues intertwined, sticky and wet. Her pale face began to flush.
My hand, which had been holding her cheek, naturally slid down. From her cheek to her shoulder, then to her chest. The moment my hand grasped one of her breasts, she pushed me away.
For a split second, I debated. Should I pounce on her and take her right now? Or should I back off and wait for the next opportunity?
I chose the latter. I couldn’t risk ruining everything I’d worked for. I pulled my hand away from her chest and stepped back.
Our lips parted. A silvery thread of saliva stretched and snapped between her slightly parted lips and my tongue.
“S… you’re such a good kisser. Where did you learn that?”
“Haha. Is there even a school that teaches kissing?”
I cupped Jena’s cheek again. I was about to try to kiss her again, but she held up her palm to stop me.
“S, the mission isn’t over yet. We can’t let our guard down until we get back to headquarters.”
“So, after we get back to headquarters… we can pick up where we left off?”
“If it’s just kissing, then okay.”
“Just kissing… I’m a little disappointed. We’re not teenagers, you know.”
“I’m not just any cheap woman.”
“…I guess not. But let’s kiss one more time.”
“Okay, just one more time. Haa…”
•••
While hacking into the research lab to extract data, I found out where Hevil, the boss of Red Eye, was located. I postponed the immediate plan to storm in and kill him.
That’s because I hadn’t taken Jena yet. If I killed Hevil, the quest would be completed, and I would return to reality. So, killing Hevil would have to wait until after I’d taken Jena.
‘The problem is, Jena is reluctant to give herself to me.’
She easily allowed kissing, but anything beyond that was quite difficult. It seemed like she had some sexual experience, but she didn’t seem to enjoy it much.
‘And she’s obsessed with chasing Red Eye.’
I turned my gaze to find Jena. She was talking to Court in his office on the other side of the glass wall. Court, with his mustache, was glaring at Jena with a stubborn set to his mouth, and Jena looked visibly frustrated.
Soon, Jena stormed out of Court’s office. I immediately got up and approached her.
“J, what did that bastard Court say?”
“…He told me to carry out individual missions for the time being.”
“What?! Why?”
It was like a bolt out of the blue. The only reason I was quietly doing my job as an agent was because of Jena.
Jena glanced around. Employees were moving busily here and there. She grabbed my arm and dragged me into an empty janitor’s closet.
“Court suspects us.”
“…Damn it.”
“We should pass the data to the higher-ups. Then we can arrest Court right away.”
“No. If we hand over the data now, Court will definitely do something.”
I just blurted out whatever came to mind. It was better to have Court around for now. If Court disappeared, there would be chaos, and things would get more complicated.
“Then how long are we supposed to leave Court alone?!”
“Calm down. Court doesn’t have much time left. I’m currently organizing and analyzing the data. I’ve found a lead on Red Eye’s boss, Hevil.”
Her excited expression instantly turned cold at my words.
“…Really?”
“I have no reason to lie to you. To not lose this lead, it’s better for the traitor Court to stay in place.”
“But Court could attack us in return.”
“Court is only at the stage of suspecting us.”
I grabbed her shoulders with both hands and looked her in the eyes.
“J… no, Jena. Trust me. Court will definitely pay for his crimes. What we need to focus on now isn’t Court, but Red Eye’s boss, Hevil. We can’t let him slip away again. We can’t let a small evil make us miss the big one.”
“…Haa. Okay, I’ll trust you. But I’m not comfortable leaving it all to you. Is there anything I can do to help?”
“It’s okay. Things are progressing smoothly. Just give me time. But if you really want to help me… kiss me.”
Jena looked at me. The corners of her lips turned up slightly. And then she lunged at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. My hands embraced her waist and back.
“Uhn… Mmm.”
The kiss lasted for almost ten minutes.
•••
Two weeks passed.
During that time, I raided several Red Eye bases and stole Hevil’s stimulants. The more, the better.
The rest of the time, I left it on auto-progress, so in reality, only about a day had passed.
“Hevil is here…?”
“I know. It’s surprising, right? It’s a perfect example of the saying, ‘the darkest place is under the lamp.’”
Jena and I were in a car, looking at a hotel in New York. Hevil was staying in this hotel.
The hotel was only 20 minutes away from headquarters.
Thump!
Jena punched the dashboard with a frustrated expression.
“The boss of Red Eye was right nearby…! Why didn’t we know all this time?! I can’t believe we were so incompetent…!”
“Calm down, J. It’s not that we were incompetent. It’s just that we had a traitor, Court, above us. Court controlled the information we got about Red Eye. He got rid of all the important information. And in the process, several agents were sacrificed.”
“Court! I can’t forgive that bastard either!”
“The higher-ups and Mr. A will take care of Court. What we need to worry about is Hevil.”
Before coming here, I had passed the data to the higher-ups and Mr. A. The higher-ups were idiots, but I could trust Mr. A, the protagonist.
I drove the car into the hotel parking lot. Jena looked visibly nervous.
“S, wouldn’t it be too difficult for just the two of us? We need backup. If what you said is true, most of the hotel staff and guests are modified humans. Can we really do this alone?”
“Our goal isn’t to start a war. It’s to capture Hevil. And don’t worry. Backup will come.”
A man who looked like a valet parker approached the car.
“Good morning, sir. I’ll park your car for you.”
Jena and I got out of the car and entered the hotel. We went to a suite and prepared for the operation. Jena changed into comfortable clothes and armed herself with a gun.
Before starting, I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her.
“Thank you, S.”
“For what?”
“For everything.”
We kissed again and then parted.
She went upstairs, and I decided to go downstairs. I had told her that Hevil was likely to be on the upper floors.
But in reality, Hevil was in the basement. The reason was simple. The basement was easier to escape from than the top of the hotel.
I took the stairs instead of the elevator. The elevator wouldn’t go down to the basement anyway.
At the entrance to the stairs leading to the basement, a man blocked my way. He looked like a security guard, over 2 meters tall with a muscular build, wearing a suit and a gun on his hip.
“Sir, the basement is off-limits to unauthorized personnel. Please turn back.”
“……”
Without a word, I grabbed his shoulder.
“Sir?”
Zzzzzzzap!
Electricity surged. The guard didn’t even scream before he was electrocuted to death. Thump. Smoke rose from the guard’s body as he fell to the floor. I ignored the disgusting smell of burning flesh and headed to the basement.
I took out a pistol from my inventory and held it in my hand.
The deeper I went into the basement, the stronger the smell of marijuana became. There were several doors, and I opened one of them.
“Aaaah! Ah! Hwaaaah!”
A man and a woman were having sex like crazy on the bed. They didn’t even notice me entering the room.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots rang out, and their sex stopped.
My eyes were indifferent. They were drug addicts. Both the woman and the man looked disgusting.
They had needle marks all over their bodies, their hair was a mess as if they hadn’t washed it, their eyebrows were gone, and they had dark circles under their eyes. Their teeth were yellow and black, sticking out jaggedly, and their bodies were so thin you could see their bones, with scratch marks all over.
I stormed into another room. There were fewer drug addicts, and most of them were Red Eye fighters. I killed them all to avoid trouble later.
And finally, I was able to meet Hevil, the boss of Red Eye.
Hevil was a man slightly taller than me. He was a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a gold necklace and gold bracelets. He was sitting on a sofa, drinking vodka and looking at a laptop.
A gun was pointed at his head.
“Hevil, nice to meet you. Are you still dreaming of world domination?”
Hevil’s gaze turned to me. His pupils were bright red. They reflected the light, making it seem like his eyes were glowing red.
“An agent of Ople. Mr. S. Your real name is Sung Yujin.”
“Did Court, that bastard, tell you?”
“Mr. S, come under me. You are capable. I don’t like that you destroyed my business, but I highly value your combat abilities, which are superior to modified humans. Become my right-hand man and let’s conquer the world together. With us, we can do it in 10 years… no, 5 years.”
“You’re crazy. Do you think world domination is that easy? You don’t actually believe you can conquer the world with drugs, do you?”
“Drugs are just a means to raise funds. The real thing is modified humans.”
“Modified humans die when they get shot.”
Hevil’s lips stretched into a smile.
“Mr. S, there’s a secret about modified humans. Modified humans gain superior physical abilities, but…”
“They become obedient to you, right?”
Hevil’s smile disappeared.
Modified humans become obedient to Hevil. It’s not like brainwashing. It’s like a predetermined fate, their genes and instincts make them obey Hevil.
That’s why Hevil can mass-produce modified humans, who would become a disaster if he couldn’t control them.
“…You knew? Impressive. That’s a top secret that only a few of my executives and I know. I’m starting to like you more and more.”
“Are you gay or something?”
“Hehe. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that question. It’s not too late. Mr. S, come under me. I’ve almost raised all the funds. Now, we’ll start conquering the world in earnest.”
“You mean the plan to kidnap famous people around the world, turn them into modified humans, and then control them?”
“You know it too. First, we’ll turn American politicians and businessmen into modified humans. Then, we’ll turn the president into a modified human and I’ll control all the famous people in the world. If you’re with me, it’ll be even easier. Come to me. Money, power, women. I’ll give you everything you want.”
“The women part is tempting… but my quest is to kill you.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets were fired at Hevil’s head. Hevil was still relaxed. The bullets hit his head and bounced off. The dented bullets rolled to my feet.
“What a foolish choice. It’s a shame.”
Hevil rose from the sofa.
I pulled the trigger again. This time, it was a burst. I aimed not only at his head but at his entire body. None of them did any damage to Hevil. Even the bullet that hit his crotch bounced off. The only thing the bullets pierced was the clothes he was wearing.
“……”
“Hehe. You can’t do anything to me with guns. You’ve interfered with my work, so… I’ll tear you apart and kill you.”
Hevil’s body swelled up. His muscles exploded, tearing his shirt. His body turned bright red.
I threw the pistol on the floor and activated my mana.
